Download or read book Crossroads written by David R. Slavitt and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1994-02-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his twelfth book of original verse David R. Slavitt leads us to a crossroads where terror, loneliness, and despair are transfigured by love and art. Much of the collection centers on the poet’s family history. In the title poem, Slavitt imagines the “dour landscape” of the Polish hamlet his grandparents left in search of a safer haven, at the same time that he reflects ruefully on the hazards of contemporary life in America: but what they abandoned is what I dream of now, asleep, while people who don’t even know my name monitor consoles that show what zones in my house have been violated—what doors or windows opened, or motion sensors tripped by the cat or some intruder. On the street, cars are stolen and stripped by desperate men, wild children . . . Who can say? In another poem, he recalls his mother and his discovery only after her death—her murder—that the name she had been given was not Adele but Ida. As a young woman she had chosen to call herself something “not too cute, but not too plain, not Ida.” And it is Adele he decides on for her grave marker, in deference to her whimsical and brave spirit. Not only family but also the worlds of art, music, and literature animate Slavitt’s verses—from a consideration of the modes of salvation suggested by El Grenco’s and Goy’s paintings of Saint Peter to a reflection upon our common response to a discordantly tuned instrument, from echoes of Paradise Lost to witty and deft variations on Catullus. Throughout this collection David Slavitt’s keen intelligence, wry humor, and deep compassion shine through. Crossroads allows us to observe a poet working at the peak of his powers.
Download or read book Prelude to Bruise written by Saeed Jones and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2014-08-18 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for Saeed Jones: "Jones is the kind of writer who's more than wanted: he's desperately needed."—FlavorWire "I get shout-happy when I read these poems; they are the gospel; they are the good news of the sustaining power of imagination, tenderness, and outright joy."—D. A. Powell "Prelude to Bruise works its tempestuous mojo just under the skin, wreaking a sweet havoc and rearranging the pulse. These poems don't dole out mercy. Mr. Jones undoubtedly dipped his pen in fierce before crafting these stanzas that rock like backslap. Straighten your skirt, children. The doors of the church are open."—Patricia Smith "It's a big book, a major book. A game-changer. Dazzling, brutal, real. Not just brilliant, caustic, and impassioned but a work that brings history—in which the personal and political are inter-constitutive—to the immediate moment. Jones takes a reader deep into lived experience, into a charged world divided among unstable yet entrenched lines: racial, gendered, political, sexual, familial. Here we absorb each quiet resistance, each whoop of joy, a knowledge of violence and of desire, an unbearable ache/loss/yearning. This is not just a "new voice" but a new song, a new way of singing, a new music made of deep grief's wildfire, of burning intelligence and of all-feeling heart, scorched and seared. In a poem, Jones says, "Boy's body is a song only he can hear." But now that we have this book, we can all hear it. And it's unforgettable."—Brenda Shaughnessy "Inside each hunger, each desire, speaks the voice of a boy that admits "I've always wanted to be dangerous." This is not a threat but a promise to break away from the affliction of silence, to make audible the stories that trouble the dimensions of masculinity and discomfort the polite conversations about race. With impressive grace, Saeed Jones situates the queer black body at the center, where his visibility and vulnerability nurture emotional strength and the irrepressible energy to claim those spaces that were once denied or withheld from him. Prelude to a Bruise is a daring debut."—Rigoberto González From "Sleeping Arrangement": Take your hand out from under my pillow. And take your sheets with you. Drag them under. Make pretend ghosts. I can't have you rattling the bed springs so keep still, keep quiet. Mistake yourself for shadows. Learn the lullabies of lint. Saeed Jones works as the editor of BuzzfeedLGBT.

Book Synopsis Ledger of Crossroads by : James Brasfield
Download or read book Ledger of Crossroads written by James Brasfield and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In James Brasfield’s Ledger of Crossroads, layered by light and shadow, the crossroads emerge from distinct yet inseparable geographies. Grounded in the sensual world, the poems fuse American and Eastern European landscapes: “the char of silence and beauty, / brick foundations of what was here, dirt roads / cut through pines, rivers and the dust of the dead.” Here are experiences from the American South, of those who believed Jim Crow “the way things . . . had to be,” and from the fallen imperiums of those “who have always / returned to fewer trees and a wall,” whose intimate perceptions provide moments of reprieves: “beyond the faint scent / of almond in the air and heavy clouds / funneling from the earth into snowfall, / the current calmed within that distant / bend of the Vistula.” Here we become the identities of others, their time and place, from the strata of their histories. They enter our lives.
Download or read book Intersections written by Corina Cristea and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Intersections" is about the journey through life as told through a collection of poems that touch the soul. We are all on a mystical journey, and Corina Cristea takes us through a series of stories about life and death, happiness and sadness. As we all move forward on our journey, we learn about strength and weakness, making promises and breaking promises, forgiving and unforgiving, love lost and love found. "Intersections" is about unrequited love and the belief that love is not about keeping but rather giving; it is not about holding grudges but rather letting go; it is not about expectations but rather expecting nothing in return. Love can heal and love can hurt, but in the end, love is an amazing and powerful emotion. Without it, life really has no meaning. And in the end, no matter which way we go on life's path and what decisions we make along the way, we all inevitably meet at the same intersections...

Book excerpt: Carissa Sherden-I doesn't know how to explain poetry except that when it is amazing I don't put it down... and I didn't put this down. Every poem is like a short story giving so much feeling and emotion all within a beautiful paragraph. Robin Leigh Morgan- Reading poetry creates a "Crossroads" where you don’t really choose which emotion, you’ll have next.
Book Synopsis Crossroads in Literature and Culture by : Jacek Fabiszak
Download or read book Crossroads in Literature and Culture written by Jacek Fabiszak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contains a selection of papers focusing on the idea of crossing boundaries in literary and cultural texts composed in English. The authors come from different methodological schools and analyse texts coming from different periods and cultures, trying to find common ground (the theme of the volume) between the apparently generically and temporarily varied works and phenomena. In this way, a plethora of perspectives is offered, perspectives which represent a high standard both in terms of theoretical reflection and in-depth analysis of selected texts. Consequently, the volume is addressed to a wide scope of both scholars and students working in the field of English and American literary and cultural studies; furthermore, it will be of interest also to students interested in theoretical issues linked with investigations into literature and culture.

Book Synopsis Crossroads of Dreams by : Franklin Agogho
Download or read book Crossroads of Dreams written by Franklin Agogho and published by Spears Media Press. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossroads of Dreams is a steamy potpourri of poetry by Franklin Agogho, Jude A. Fonchenalla and M.D. Mbutoh which redefine representations of African youth through the prisms of politics, emigration and the enduring threat of underdevelopment. How would one explain the persistence of poverty and oppression in Africa amidst the superabundance of natural and human resources? In their search for answers, the poets not only chastise but also to point to a verdant and promising future – free of corruption, greed, violence and neo-colonialism. Other themes covered in the anthology include gender, identity and family ties. Animated by three distinctive styles, the eighty-eight poems in this volume will surely enrage, provoke laughter, sorrow, disgust but also hope, courage and visions of a promising Africa in all its splendour and tribulations.

Download or read book CROSSROADS written by Yala Korwin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An artist as well as a poet, Yala Korwin has many colors on her palette. In her latest book, Crossroads, she walks us through her gallery of words with poems about nature, poetry, wart, war, immigration, and grandchildren. In "Connections," she assigns the color black not to mourning but to "musicians/in formal attire." "When I am No Longer" pictures the author returning to earth as "snow sparkle" or "wind whisper." Her opening poem "America! America!" records the fluttering of the immigrant's heart on approaching New York harbor. And her powerful sonnet, "Widows," plumbs the wound that never heals: "each to her cold nest, with her secret load, /where no one waits, where silence has the floor." The last word of this ambitious book is "hope." Carolyn Raphael ---------------------------- "I hang on tight between heaven and hell," writes Yala Korwin, a poet thoroughly grounded in the pleasures as well as agonies of living. Aging, loss, and mortality may stalk these pages, but the refining fires of her "private/busy/crematorium" produce, instead of despair, an indomitable wisdom, joy, and acceptance. Along with deep awareness of life's many heartbreaks, and compassionate understanding permeates these poems in endless variations, whether it be taking in a stray cat, wishing Samuel Beckett well, or being glad for daughter's growing independent life even if it diminishes one's own. George Northrup, PHD, President of Fresh Meadows Poets ---------------------------- This new collection by poet Yala Korwin is cause for profound celebration. Like every work by this highly gifted poet and visual artist, it is a gift to readers who yearn for the clarity, the lyricism and the deliberate appeal to both mind and heart missing in so much that calls itself poetry today. The painter is evident in these poems, in their close observation and love of detail; so are the wife, widow and mother, the survivor and the intelligent multilingual reader familiar with other cultures lost beside the "crossroads" of war and immigration.
